Bot Creators can create an output variable to display the output of a child process automation in the parent process automation.

Prerequisites

After a Bot Creator has created a process automation in Process Composer, they can create an output variable that can be used in the end process.

Procedure

  • To create an output variable:
    1. Navigate to the Output variables section.
    2. Click Show.
    3. Click the plus (+) icon.
      The Create variable dialog displays.
    4. Enter the name of the variable in the Name field (for example, output).
    5. Select your variable type in the Type field (for example, String).
    6. Optional: Enter the variable information in the Description field.
    7. Optional: Enter a default variable in the Default value field.
      You need to insert a variable:
      1. Select a source in the Variable source field (for example, botTask).
      2. Select Output as a Variable type option.
      3. Select a variable in the Variable field (for example, output).
      4. Click Yes, insert to confirm your changes.
